Accidental Magic by Calais_Reno

OMG!!

I hope you don’t mind that i respond to this publicly but it made me so pleased I’d like to cherish it forever. :))

This is like the coolest thing ever- one that you’re a PROFESSIONAL VIOLIST!!! (I used to play the viola in high school!! No one ever talks about the viola, always the violin, and it’s honestly the superior of the two instruments imo ;))

Second of all, that you were performing music and it made you think of OFD Sherlock!!!!!!!

Ok now last of all, is there any way you would send me some of the music??? I have a vague-ish sense of what Sherlock might have known/played but I don’t really know many specifics and I would love love love to listen to any of the music- it would be such excellent inspiration!
